What Is Property Management? (In Simple Terms)

If you own a rental property, you’ve probably heard the term “property management.”
But what does that actually mean?

Let’s keep it simple.

1. Property Management = Taking Care of Rental Homes for Owners

Property management is when a company (like MU Property Management) takes care of a rental property on behalf of the owner.

That means handling everything that comes with renting out a home or apartment — from finding good tenants to fixing leaky taps.

Think of it like this:
You own the property, but we do the day-to-day work so you don’t have to.

2. What Does a Property Manager Do?

Here’s what property managers actually handle for you:

1️⃣ Advertising the property – posting listings and showing apartments to potential tenants.
2️⃣ Tenant screening – checking applications, references, and background info.
3️⃣ Collecting rent – making sure payments are on time and accurate.
4️⃣ Maintenance and repairs – scheduling work orders, inspections, and emergency fixes.
5️⃣ Handling tenant issues – from complaints to lease renewals.
6️⃣ Following the law – making sure all rental rules and regulations in New Brunswick are followed.
7️⃣ Financial reporting – giving owners clear updates on income and expenses.

In short: property managers protect your investment, keep tenants happy, and save you time.
